Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that sh...
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.

在亚马逊上买的的第一本书,第一本塞进Kindle的书,第一本读完的盖曼的原文书,太有纪念意义了。

今年的Xmas gift!超惊喜。一拿到就忍不住翻了起来,一口气翻了几十页觉得这样下去这么厚一本应该很快读完了又不舍,于是强令自己减慢速度。。。--果然一个晚上读完,是248页啦不是190页。世界观设定果然又宏大了起来,可是感觉很多东西都没讲清楚。NG 有了自己的模板了,看到中间一直忍不住想到卡罗琳的故事。以及他果然是个永远长不大的,玻璃心的7岁小男孩。

这次盖曼叔走的是《奇风岁月》那种缅怀童年的路子,又是一次作者自己“私人化”的文本呈现。思来想去,与这本书比较贴近的旧作大概是《坟场之书》,几乎没有典故埋藏在故事里、奇幻部分的加入又成了一种超现实的隐喻。好比《失物之书》里用臆想来装点残酷的战争,真实童年里的灰色记忆则寄托于坏保姆、矿工幽灵、三代魔女、车道尽头的海洋(bigger on the inside)等意象。美版的封面文艺又孤独,中译本被装点... 这次盖曼叔走的是《奇风岁月》那种缅怀童年的路子,又是一次作者自己“私人化”的文本呈现。思来想去,与这本书比较贴近的旧作大概是《坟场之书》,几乎没有典故埋藏在故事里、奇幻部分的加入又成了一种超现实的隐喻。好比《失物之书》里用臆想来装点残酷的战争,真实童年里的灰色记忆则寄托于坏保姆、矿工幽灵、三代魔女、车道尽头的海洋(bigger on the inside)等意象。美版的封面文艺又孤独,中译本被装点成一个温暖的画片集。西方读者清一色的好评,我只是觉得,情怀足矣、却少了一点活泼一份俏皮。一场朦胧又沉重的童梦。 (展开)

虽以七岁孩子视角来写,不适合孩童。黑暗无幽默。惊悚瑰丽一如往常。

看这本书就像一把刀插在心里,虽然其实也并不是这样
